I wonder what the reaction would have been if it had been a Russian scientist who made this claim? Have a think about it...

This thread wouldn't be a troll's attempt to fuel some good old "Anti-Americanism" sentiment would it?

And exactly why won't you include China in this post? They now emit more than the US.

AND, according to FuturePundit:
"A constant percentage increase per year turns into an absolute increase per year. If China maintains an 11% CO2 increase per year through the 2010s then by 2020 it will likely emit more CO2 than all the rest of the world put together."

Haha take it easy tezza, I'm only playing up to your sig mate . I suppose it actually is quite a funny allegation when you think about all the other doom and gloom stuff going on in the world.

Australia, of all places, does not deserve this.

We have had the brightest inventors who have designed some of the most innovative energy resourceful systems in the world.

I believe the solar/wind power scheme in California was designed and implemented by an Aussie or Aussie company.
This is only one example.

Dont kick aussies in the behind for this. Kick our government for not investing in new technologies that brilliant forward thinking Australians are coming up with, only to have to take their designs/ideas overseas for it to see the light of day.

I hope Rudd reads this and dies of embarrassment.

He was supposed to be our new Green clean/lets sign the Kyoto Agreement Prime Minister.

Since he got in, absolutely diddly sqaut.

A large wind turbine company has had to close shop because they couldn't get the government to offer decent rebates.

www.abc.net.au...

This is only one example off the top of my head.
There have been lots of other companies that have had to bow out of Clean Energy production, because it's either not financially viable because of our small population, or because the government won't offer incentives by investing in the technology via rebates.

After having said all that, saying AUSTRALIA Is destroying life on Earth, when the rest of the world combined pumps out more crap than we do, is all really stupid and totally alarmist.
Bit like those kooky climate warming/Al Gore loving psuedo-scientists.
Wonder if this Nasa Scientist is one of them.

TextScientist or idiot ? Australia is the engine house supplying a large slab of the worlds mineral resources and as a factory for the global village is just another part of the jigsaw problem. It really is infuriating as a "thinking" Australian to see Americans debate serious issues with such low level contributions....

Angry and sad !
